Dryxanne’s Confessions

Only Good Trees Produce Good Fruit
(Mt. 7:17–20; 12:34b–35)

43“A good tree does not produce bad fruit. And a bad tree does not produce good fruit. 44Every tree is known by the kind of fruit it produces. You won’t find figs on thorny weeds. And you can’t pick
grapes from thornbushes!

45Good people have good things saved in their hearts.

That’s why they say good things.

But those who are evil have hearts full of evil, and that’s why they say things that are evil. What people say with their mouths comes from what fills their hearts.

==================================================

A friend in my list posted out a bulletin that quotes Luke 6 : 43-49. And when I looked it up in the Bible, I couldn’t more agree to what’s written. Especially with what’s going on lately, with all the debates and anger and curses over the FITNA video and its creator Geert Wilders.

A friend once told me, that no matter how other people behave, how bad other people become, we always have our choice to be UNLIKE them. We don’t have to follow what’s wrong, and we should be able to tell, and do, what’s right.

I can really understand how angry Moslems people about this film, and its creator. But if I may suggest, if they react with anger, it’ll just make things worse. Other people who don’t know well, may jump to the conclusion that what’s described in the movie, that Moslems are that bad, are actually true. Which is a wrong conclusion.

So, to all my Moslem friends, stay calm, stay cool. Your heart may be filled with anger, but your head must be filled with logics and patience. Fight back, if you must, but remember, choose your way carefully.

Have a blessed weekend, everyone!
